A former cloth store on Rua das Flores gave way to a café with a modern and cozy atmosphere, combining classic elements that refer to the origins of the space with decorative details that take us to other places and reflect its new cosmopolitan soul.I’m refering to the Mercador Café, which I discovered days ago and compelled me to come in to enjoy a relaxed breakfast. Locals and tourists alike happily mingle to lunch, to snack homemade delicacies or to buy some gourmet products.

From the former space were kept the colorful stained glass windows that separate the current kitchen, the big closet that stretches along the wall with several exhibits, the counter that captivates us with delicious temptations, the elegantly Parisian atmosphere that surrounds us.The modern decorative objects, many of them from distant places aound the world, fit in perfectly and complement the comforting intimacy that makes us enjoy being there, in this beautiful café with a vintage glamour.
